As end users bring their own devices to work, download apps and sign up for cloud services, it’s getting harder for IT to maintain application visibility and control performance. In addition to introducing IT management blind spots, trends such as consumerization, mobility and cloud computing are also increasing business risk, according to a survey of CIOs from around the world. “The age-old disconnect between business and IT is at risk of widening,” said Steve Tack, […]

Microsoft has some cool products hiding behind ridiculously confusing names.

In the era of WikiLeaks, it’s no wonder that business executives are feeling less secure about their organizations’ data. A recent study by Ernst & Young found that 60% of those polled perceive increased risk from the use of social networking, cloud computing and personal mobile devices at work. “Organizations are operating in a world that requires borderless security,” warns Bernie Wedge, an IT risk practice leader at Ernst & Young. “Information access by employees […]
The “cloud” is a convenient name for a new paradigm in computing that entails changes in policies and processes that can seem as amorphous and shifting as actual clouds. How can you ensure that your data is protected and secure while sitting in the cloud? Start by asking a few questions: Where is the data physically stored? How is it protected? Who can access it? How can you get it back? When the economic crisis […]

We have seen this evolution happen with the adoption of virtualization, and IT organizations will continue to evolve with increased cloud adoption. Cloud computing will eventually just be considered a part of the IT department’s general plans for technological […]
Great article on the difference between manages services and cloud computing: I have posted previously that there is a lot of confusion and debate about terminology and definitions of cloud. The problem of using such a broad term like “cloud computing” is that there are so many variations with the possible deployment models and when you say “cloud” it means different things to different people. Using the phrase “we are going to the cloud” can […]
